Hey guys, here are the steps needed to make your own ferts at a pretty huge discount. The basics are that you will be using dry fertilizers(salts) which are the raw components that go into the solvent(water) to create your own grow juice. The easiest way to do this is to buy the fertz either in...

I didnt forget about everyone. I have been slammed with work going into the holiday. I fly out on 12/22 for vacation and will post all the promised info while on the plane.

I think there is a huge market for REAL fertilizers in the MMJ scene. I have some knowledge in chemistry and just ripped off the top fertz from Botanicare, Fox, and General Organics - exact clones. Buying their products are over 10,000% markup. What a joke! They are disrespecting growers...

@shawnery special thanks to you. You put me right on track.

Time is precious @raratt if you got it, make the move! I work in Finance and have long hard days filled with math, but zero time to capitalize on the knowledge that brought me to this build. @raratt you were of no help throughout this entire thread... I wouldn't buy shit from you.

I believe it was https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/bridgelux/BXEB-L1120Z-35E4000-C-B3/976-1732-ND/7907661 I'll post the build this weekend. I am more than happy to share the love after y'all helped me out

I put together a 1000w real wattage build. I want to thank all of you for the tremendous help. I ended up using the Bridgelux 180lm/w 44" strips 20 of them. Way more bang for the buck. I dont think there is a light out there that can touch these as far as value. I have a bit of lead time...

Out of curiosity why do these need heat sinks and the QBs don't? I can get 16 QB120 boards - $479.99 1120 real wattage and 4x HLG-320H-48B - and be done. vs the aforementioned, which adds an additional $150 in heatsinks.

@shawnery You are a GD monster! Thanks so much for all of the help. I owe you one! I was just doing the reading myself and picked out a few things, then BOOM "Rollitup - New reply to watched thread" with all the answers! Do you work for an affiliate?

@shawnery That looks a lot better. Can you send me direct links to make the purchases? This is a veg tent, but if I can flower it I wont complain.

So this, 480H-C2100, will power 8 boards up to max wattage? @raratt said "8x70=?" Well, 8x70 /= 480H-C2100. So I am back at square one right? Because 8x70= 560 Thanks! @coreywebster @shawnery @Olive Drab Green I have a bit of reading to do. @NGA - good copypasta. $144 for a driver sounds...

Does anyone want to help me find a driver or explain it to me? I looked but there are so many opinions on drivers for all kinds of hlg models and the threads usually devolve into chaos before there is a clear answer. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your help.

Can someone help me pick out the right driver to do the following. -run 8 x qb 120s -dimmable -ability to top out at 70w per board I am a doofus when it comes to this, so thank you in advance!!!
